While working at a cottage at the region’s Viamede Resort, electricians Pete Rennie and Jay Wells spotted the deer struggling on the slippery ice, and after testing the ice’s thickness, they cautiously approached it. Though the frightened animal struggled against them, they managed to pull it safely to the shore by its legs. Once it was back on land, the deer bounded away with no apparent injuries.
